Lately, Ruger has been doing some crazy sales on their guns at Turner's. A little over a month ago, they had this deal. However, even though they said they only had 200 total available, that is BS. I went in on a Friday afternoon, same day the ad was valid, and bought one and they said I bought the last one... yeah right. I see people the next week on a Tues and Wed saying they also just bought one from Turners, so their "xxx number available" is kind of BS and used more of a marketing ploy to get you to jump now at the price.

How is the finish on the black 10/22? I'm not too fond of the stainless look, but I do like the fact that it is stainless for only $10 more, and also a shorter 18.5" barrel compared to the 20" barrel. But the black 10/22 has a fiber optic front sight.

Will a SS finish on the 10/22 hold up a lot better over time compared to the standard black 10/22? Is the resale value better on the SS parts? I would probably end up swapping it out for a .920" target sized barrel.
